For the past 30 years, people have thought of the American Dream in two ways: owning a home and going to college. The subprime lending crisis of 2008, however, was a clear example of people being sold the American Dream without being given the tools to realize it. The same phenomenon is true in higher…

by Cliff Kincaid Barbwire Changing academia has been much more difficult than changing the media. However, there is hope: President Donald Trump has asked Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. to head a White House task force on reforming the U.S. higher education system. While the appointment has been known about since January, the selection …

As higher education leaders across the country work to expand global engagement and develop comprehensive internationalization strategies, the American Council on Education (ACE) has released a report that examines these efforts

At a time when thoughtful leadership is more important than ever, the role of the college president is witnessing enormous challenges. A new report examines the challenges college presidents face today and what will be required to strengthen their role in the coming decades.

The education system is changing. Established teaching methodologies are reaching their limits in most developed countries. New requirements are needed. In the search for solutions, technology is playing an increasingly prominent role — allowing for new approaches such as the “inverted classroom,” Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCS) and “mobile learning”. We keep hearing of an…

There are many unanswered questions about the unprecedented sale of Kaplan University, a for-profit institution with several online programs but falling enrollments, to Purdue University, one of the top public universities in the nation. To try to get some answers, EdSurge recently sat down wit

When my parents got into the workforce, there was no doubt in their minds that the careers they started in would be the same ones they retired from. If you were an accountant, you would always be one; if you were a nurse, you would always be one; if you were a tradesman, you would…

A new report from education policy think tank New America finds that Americans still value college degrees, but believe that higher education institutions are not, for the most part, delivering on their promise to help students succeed in the life.

Baylor University hosted a leadership seminar this week for administrators and faculty members of Christian colleges and universities, featuring speakers with deep Baylor ties and insights into the future of

It’s safe to say that full-time faculty members at American colleges and universities have work schedules and expectations that are often not well understood by the general public. I often get two kinds of questions from people who are trying to figure out how I spend my time: (1) You only teach two evenings per…

“Higher education” is a vague term. It describes a sector that is hardly uniform, with over 4,000 degree-granting institutions eligible for federal funding but serious disparities among them. A college education from one of these institutions continues to serve as a prerequisite to moving up the income ladder in our narrative about economic mobility. Yet,... Read more »

Eliminating tuition in public colleges and universities would encourage those who did not think they could afford college to pursue their education, and it would offer students welcome financial relief. To balance the state budget, higher education will experience budget reductions, and institutions will once again turn to increasing tuition revenues to soften the impact of these cuts. Making college more accessible and affordable to all qualified Californians over the long run will require a more fundamental rethinking of how California finances the increasing demand for higher education and plans for our collective future. During the past decade, thanks to great improvements in our K-12 system, high school graduation rates have steadily increased, and the proportion of students graduating academically ready for college jumped by almost 50 percent. [...] tuition costs are only part of the problem. Instead of just moving ahead with the “free college” plan as it now stands, we should step back and take a comprehensive look at the way we finance our public institutions of higher education for this and future generations. (While the public might be ready to support more money for higher education, they will do so only with concrete assurances that the money will be spent responsibly.) Finally, it means that students, institutions, policymakers and the public must have a shared understanding of how resources are allocated to ensure student access and success. If our goal is to ensure that all California students now and in the future have access to an affordable, quality college education, then our public policy makers and higher education leaders must build a shared vision of this issue and find practical ways to solve it.
